RAILROAD LOBBY ANSWERED.

The Interstate Commerce bill.
passed by Congress, applies only TO
shipments from one State into an
other State. AS to such traffic il
forbids railroad managers from dis
eliminating between shippers; il
forbids greater charge for a short
than for longer, distance, and il
appoints n Commission. The Com
missioners have power to investigate
and publish the facts whenever u
citizen complains that he is injured
by violation Of the law The act
only applies to interstate commerce.
If the shipment is from Richmond.
Va, to Huntington, West Va, then
the law applies; but it does not apply
if the shipment is from Greenbrier
to Huntington. 1t is proposed to
give orr home people, rs to their To-
cal shipments, the same protection.
and none other, that Congress has
given to traffic crossing State line.
If this proposition were submitted
to popular vote it would carry by
Il larger majority than any PROPOSE
ton ever offered at the polls.
But the railroads have invoked
all the craft and cunning invented
by their attorneys to drive our Leg
islature from the path of duty and
to prevent the passage of this law.
The circumstance that the railroad
managers try to defeat this measure
is conclusive proof that they violate
its provisions. 1t they are not vio-
lating them, the passage of this law
will not affect their conduc. one way
or the other. If they are doing what
this law forbids, its passage must
be of incalculable benefit to our peo
pie. Opposition to this law is a con.
fession of guilt. These corporations
hire the best talent TO invent plaus.
IDLE theories TO mislead the Legisla-
ture. But be 1t always rememered,
the money paid to these lawyers
comes out OF the pocket Of our peo-
pie. The newspapers tell us that
Ferguson, attorney for the Chesa.
peake IL Ohio: Quarter, for the
kanawha d Ohio; Leonard for The
Ohio River railroad, and Jno. a.
Robinson, for the Baltimore d. Ohio,
are now present in Charleston TO
persuade the Legislature not to act
in this matter. They arc using pre-
cisely the same specious plausibIi
ties and cunning sophistries that
were used in Congress TO prevent the
passage Of the Interstate bill. tire
mains TO be seen whether these at
torneys will be able to fool our Leg
islature. We observe that certain
newspapers are extremely diligent
to publish the substance of the
speeches these attorneys make to
the committee, but they do not re-
port the speeches in favor OF the
bill: These very papers called on
the people to worship Camden be-
cause he was instrumental in pass
ing the bill through Congress. II
this law is valuable rs to traffic
which crosses q State line. it is
equally valuable as to traffic be-
tween points within the State. It is
impossible to suggest reason why
shipments between different States
should be protected and yet ship
ments between different points with
in the same State should remain I'M

1t is misleading to contrast the
condition of this State with rail
roads, with what her condition would
be without them. The true contrast
is between West Virginia with rail
roads unlawfully conducted, with
what West Virginia would be il

to the principles Congress applies

WHY SHE MARRIED 4 POOR MAN.

One Of the greatest bells and heir
esses in Philadelphia, and beauty
besides, married a rather good-look-
ing young man without business or
a penny. She had been courted as
siduously by one of the greatest
beaux IN town, rich young man,
with fortune, pr, stige and everything
back OF him except that he was CAV
anu had sown an immense crop of
wild oats. He sent her the most
expensive presents, which she would
not accept. Scores of influential
friends tried to help on his cause.
on the most skillful female diplo-
mats tried to induce her to discard
the young man, who had nothing and
no friends but herself. Her own
family, with an exception, did every
thing to induce her to prefer the
rich suitor. Young as she was. and
with all society making a pet of her,
she gave up everything gave up So
eiety, gave up home, gave up every
luxury and fascination that women
are supposed to hold dear-and mar
rled the man OF her choice. And
she is happy-far happier than many
who are ''in the swim" When
some one said to her "Why did you
make the choice you did 2" Why
refuse 50 much that most girls value
dearly r she replied II married for
two things character and. morality.

other didn't. loved and respected

CONSISTENCY, THOU ART A JEW.
ELL"

At the recent banquet given il
Massachusetts, TO the r. Z. Lee camr
of Confederate veterans severa
prominent republicans were present
and expressed the kindliest feeling
for Virginians. Here is what Gov.
ernor Ames said:
THE time has gone by, | trust,
never to return, when Massachusetts
and Virginia will fail to appreciate
and understand each other. Ap
plause. In the long future that un-
rolls before the republic, the people
OF the old Bay state and the people
of the Old Dominion have to work
out common destiny The
bond OF the union links us together
in the greatest partnership, the
mightiest league of states that the
world has ever seen. For Virginia
Massachusetts has only the kindest
feelings and the best wishes, and |
am glad that it is my privilege to say
so here and now in this historic place,
and in the presence OF those from the
"Old Dominion" who so well repre-
sent the people of that state and the
spirit of its institutions.
Senator Hoar-he of the bitter
tongue upon the stump-began by
saying
THE man who speaks for Massa-
sets tonight has but one duty. That
is to express her cordial affection for
Virginia. We have learned respect
for each other. You have learned
something Of the puritan. You have
discovered that there was courage in
the steadfast breast which confront.
ed yours, and generosity in the stout
heart where there was no room for
resentment when the strife was over.
[Cheers.] We both delight to re-
member that there is no drop of blood
on the American flag which was shed
in peace. No man where that flag
floats ever died for political ohense
under the authority of which it is the
emblem. Great cheers.
"We, too, have learned to know as
We never knew before the quality of
the southern stock; what courage in
war; what attachment to home and
state; what capacity for great affec-
ton and generous emotion; what
aptness for command; above all,
what constancy-that virtue beyond
all virtues, without which no people
can long be either great or free"
[ Applausel.
The senator further declared that
"Mr. Secretary Lamar, in his ora
ton at the unwilling of the statue of
Calhoun at Charleston, for which |
am happy to take this occasion to
express my admiration, does not ex-
aggerate when he declares that the
late appeal TO arms has led to the
indissolubility of the American un-
ion and the universally Of American
freedom.
How do these sentiments compare
with those expressed by these same
gentlemen when engaged in deliver
ing political harangues? They do
not chime in at all. Certainly they
should strive to be consistent if not
truthful.

no TAXES,

A place on earth has been found
where taxes are unknown. 1t is a
territory bordering on the northern
line of Lincoln, Maine, called Glib
bert's Gore" 1t contains S94 acres
of land and ten hourishing families
1t is bounded by the lines Of three
counties, Knox, Lincoln and Waldo,
but is not claimed by either. The
inhabitants do not maintain NUM-
pal organization and cannot vote for
President, Governor, members OF the
Legislature, or town officers; but
they are contented with their lot,
have fine farms and good roads, their
pork barrels and potato bins are
open to one other, and they do not
care snap about politics, This
community comes as near to having
a Utopia as any community ever did.
